Mushroom wood Mermaid carving is hand carved from parasite wood. The artist has let the natural shape of the chinaberry wood determine the sinuous curves of this Sea Goddess Mermaid carving. The natural formation of the fungus that grew into the wood is left on the wood and adds an organic feel to this great piece.
So sweet on a coffee table or bookshelf or even your desk.
Unique and one of a kind you will be receiving the exact carving pictured here .

While there we collaborate with the Balinese (mostly family & friends) and create special offerings for our shop. We believe our offerings should be culturally significant using local sustainable materials and craftsmanship whenever possible. Thus in turn keeping the arts alive in ever evolving fast changing Bali in the world of globalization, while enriching the lives of our family & friends whom we work with by creating a market for the beautiful art of Bali.
